This Credit Card Number Generator creates random, Luhn-valid test card numbers for popular payment networks. Each generated number follows the correct prefix and digit-length rules for its network, includes an optional CVV/security code and future expiry date, and is displayed as a realistic visual card preview. It is built for developers, QA engineers, and anyone testing checkout forms, payment validators, or sandbox payment gateways.

What it does: Choose a network, set a quantity (up to 12 cards at a time), optionally enter a custom BIN/IIN prefix, and generate numbers that pass the Luhn check digit test. The output is a set of visual cards showing the network logo, formatted number, CVV, and expiry. You can copy any single card or download the whole batch as a text file.

Why it is useful: Real card numbers must never be used for testing. This tool gives you structurally valid numbers that behave like real cards in form validation, masking, display formatting, and length checks, without touching any live payment data. It is safe, private, and runs entirely in your browser.

What it is built with: The generator uses the ISO/IEC 7812 issuer identification number (IIN) prefix ranges for each supported network, the Luhn algorithm to compute the check digit, and standard JavaScript in the browser. Nothing is sent to a server, and no account is required.

The generator produces numbers that look and behave like real payment cards for testing purposes. It does not create live accounts, check balances, or verify identity. Every output is syntactically correct: the prefix belongs to the chosen network, the total length is valid for that network, and the final digit satisfies the Luhn check.

1. Pick a network and length: Choose one of the eight supported networks from the dropdown. The length list updates automatically to show only the valid digit counts for that network, so you never generate a number with the wrong size.

2. Set quantity and options: Enter how many cards you need, up to 12 at a time. Optionally enter a custom BIN/IIN prefix to test a specific range, toggle CVV/CVC and expiry on or off, and set a cardholder name that appears on every generated card.

3. Generate: Click "Generate Cards". Each card is assembled with a valid network prefix, random middle digits, and a correctly computed Luhn check digit. The visual preview shows the network color, logo, formatted number, and the optional fields you selected.

4. Copy or download: Copy a single card number from its card, copy all cards at once, or download the batch as a tab-separated text file. Use the numbers in checkout forms, QA scripts, or test gateways — never for real payments.

FAQ 1: Are these real credit card numbers?
Answer: No. They are synthetically generated test numbers that follow the correct structure and pass the Luhn check, but they are not linked to any real account, bank, or payment processor.

FAQ 2: Can I use these numbers to buy something online?
Answer: No. Payment processors and merchants will reject them because they are not associated with real funding sources or identities. Use them only for testing software.

FAQ 3: Does "Valid" mean the card will be approved?
Answer: No. The generator only ensures the number is structurally correct. Approval depends on the issuing bank, available funds, and other checks that this tool does not perform.

FAQ 4: What is a custom BIN / IIN?
Answer: The BIN (Bank Identification Number) or IIN is the leading part of a card number. Some tests need a specific prefix to exercise a particular issuer range. Entering a custom BIN tells the generator to start the number with those digits.

FAQ 5: Is it safe to generate cards here?
Answer: Yes. Everything runs locally in your browser. No numbers are sent to a server, stored, or shared with anyone.

FAQ 6: Why does American Express show 4-digit CVV?
Answer: Amex uses a 4-digit CID (Card Identification Number) instead of the 3-digit CVV used by most other networks. The generator follows that convention automatically.
